    ACTUALLY SHARIA LAW IS TO PROTECT MAN FROM CHEATING,DEADLY DISEASES,AND ALL ACT OF INDISCIPLINE AND INJUSTICE PERPETRATED BY FELLOW MAN.HOWEVER,BEFORE A JUGDEMENT IS PASSED INVESTIGATION MUST BE THOROUGHLY CARRIED OUT AND FOUR WITNESSES MUST BE PRODUCED.IN ADDITION,THE TWO INVOLVED SHOULD BE PUNISHED.FOR THE MAN TO BE DISCHARGED ,IT SHOWS THERE IS A CONSPIRACY.IN THAT CASE THE WOMAN SHOULD BE FREED AND JUDGEMENT LEFT FOR GOD.
